Welcome to Flushing Meadows, New York, The United States! The last few weeks have been dominated by play on hard courts in a variety of colours, and for a good reason. The last Grand Slam title of the year is up for grabs, which means that the greatest number of ranking points in the remainder of the season are handed out these very three weeks. All commences with the qualifying competition, which sees fallen heroes, rising stars, local wild cards and players coming back from injury. This veritable mixture of players wants nothing more than to reach the main draw, where the real points are at stake. We still have a long way to go before the US Open champion can be crowned, but only your votes can help us to make the first step. Vote now as the US Open kicks off!.
